Need New Suspension

I need a new susspension. I want the car to be very stiff and handle well. I would like it to preform like a stock 2k4 civic would. What types of strut and springs would be best? I was looking at the custommaxima.com Illuminas.

Also I haeve stock 15" steel wheels and looking to get 18's

I have Intrax springs (1.7" drop) and they are very stiff.

I smell something. Seems like the misspellings are a little too carefully crafted. Preform? Haeve? Eek, our options are A) someone's being funny, or B) English teachers are crying.

Come on guys, give him a break it's his first post, the gist is he's looking for something stiff. The beauty of Illumina's or KYB AGX's are they are adjustable which makes life easier for the times you want to go stiff or not. Illumina's seem to be the strut of choice as of late. As far as springs, thats up to interpretation as far as stiffness. Good luck noob

I make those types of mistakes quite often when typing (I just look back and correct them). I just push a button in the wrong order.

If you want the best handling springs go for eibachs.
